What Industries Contributed to Google's $37.9 Billion in 2011 Revenues?

What Industries Contributed to Google's $37.9 Billion in 2011 Revenues? | WordStream "On the heels of Google’s ‘disappointing’ earnings announcement last Thursday – they generated a whopping $37.9 billion in revenues in 2011 – we conducted our own analysis to determine the top 10 industries that spent the most money on Google advertising last year. The results are summarized in our Google revenues infographic, also shown below (click the image to enlarge). We think that the results of our analysis reveal some surprising insights into the current state of the US economy – read on for more commentary."

I found this via Chart Porn which wrote, "Ok, there’s not much charting going on here, but there is a whole lot of fascinating data on Google ad revenue, as compiled by search marketing company WordStream. It is stunning what companies are paying per click for some of these keywords. In revenge for years of mediocre service (and because it was fun), I just went and searched for “high speed internet deals” then clicked on Comcast’s ad – supposedly costing them >$20. That’ll teach ‘em!"
